Thanks for the update. That's good news, sort of - not as terribly serious as it could be sometimes. If all that is involved is relocating spring hangers, that's pretty straightforward. If Lippert ends up authorizing the dealer to get the repair done, as I said, be who does the work. I would not want the dealer doing the work or them getting someone else to do it. Insist on a shop of your choice. The actual work won't take long either.
Have had one bad experience already with a dealer sending some frame work to a nearby suspension shop who ending up botching it. Three trips back to the suspension shop to get it fixed and it's still not right despite me giving them a detailed drawing of exactly what to do plus they damaged something and refused to accept responsibility.
If the rear axle is to the left, are the spring hangers bent sideways? Spring hangers should be perfectly vertical. Do you know if the frame I-beams are the forged type or the 3-piece fabricated welded ones? If the latter, those frames are inherently weak and I would suggest adding some re-enforcement at the spring hangers.
Someone stated here not too long ago that Lippert has improved their quality control as of late. Doesn't sound like it if this sort of thing still happens. You're very lucky to have caught this in the beginning.
